Third, I'm fascinated by Christian's idea of allowing someone to subscribe to a "follow" list for a WG. Let me try what might be a different version of the same idea or perhaps a different one. Suppose every WG had two mailing lists, the primary one as we think about WG lists today (and have for many years) and a subset list, almost Announce-like, that was expected to be about WG events, not discussions.
FYI: There is a (unused by us) feature in Mailman called "topics" that could do exactly this with a WG lists: The chair could create an "announcement" topic, send messages to that topic, and subscribers could choose to subscribe only to that topic.
